When the rear brake on my bike would not release I pulled the cable out to find it had frayed. I purchased a new Shimano inner cable and installed it with no problem. There was plenty of extra length and I was able to cut it to the size I needed. It even came with a cap for the end. I'm very pleased! My back brake now works every bit as good as the front brake.
Shimano wins.
This was the first time I have ever installed a bike brake cable. I like the fact it was long enough to replace a front or rear cable.
